Adzuki Bean and Chicken Stew

• 1 cup of adzuki beans
• 1-1/2 chicken breasts cut up into bite sized pieces
• 2-3 carrots cut up
• 1 large onion cut up
• 2 stalks of celery cut up
• 16 oz. of chicken broth
• 1 cup of water or dry white wine if so desired
• 3 cloves of garlic diced small
• Salt, marjoram, bay leaf, sage, or poultry seasoning and any other herbs that you like.
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

• Wash and then soak one cup of aduzki beans in two cups water overnight or for a few hours.
• Then cook beans, boil and then simmer for an hour or so until tender. Add water as necessary.
• Brown chicken pieces in 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat until cooked.
• Let the meat get brown but do not burn. You will get a caramelized effect if done right.
• Take chicken out of skillet and add another Tbs. of olive oil.
• Then add onion and garlic and saute for a few minutes. Add a little chicken broth or wine if pan gets dry.
• Cook carrots and celery in microwave on high for a minute or two until semi tender.
• Place everything in a good sized soup pan, chicken, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, broth and or wine, aduzki beans with any liquid remaining in pan.
• Simmer the whole lot for 20 minutes or so after adding the herbs and spices.
• Just before serving add some arrowroot to thicken if so desired. I did not need to add any arrowroot as the broth was just thick enough for our taste.
• Absolutely delicious. This recipe should feed four adults with a salad and bread. If you try it let me know how it came out.
